iPhone User used App!It's super effective!
Really, this is a great app for LaTeX editing, and the dev keeps resolving issues and improving it.

Fix Dropbox!Typing and compiling work well.
The problem is Dropbox sync. It's very buggy. At the moment I'm trying to download an updated tex file from y Dropbox and it just won't update. I turned on autosync for that file and everything but it keeps loading an old version, while the Dropbox app shows a newer version. I also almost alway get errors about Dropbox whenever I open texpad.
Fix Dropbox sync! If I could actually rely on this app to save my files and keep track of them, it would be perfect.
Also, I'm using a bluetooth keyboard and it works fine in all other apps - I'm typing on it now for this review - but it is frustratingly slow and unreliable in TexPad. Why is that? Please fix.

Great so farThe app has been great so far. It lives up to expectations: excellent dropbox support, remote and local compiler, autocomplete, etc.
Minor complaints: I can't figure out how to spell check but I haven't really tried that hard. Sometimes when I'm using a bluetooth keyboard and after I've been working on something for 30minutes or more I will type for 5 seconds and everything will come up in a quick spurt 10 or 20 seconds later. It only happens with this app... not in pages... or just randomly typing into chrome...

Close to perfectPros:
- Dropbox integration
- Excellent interface
- Efficient, smooth, and not bloated (as a typesetting app should be).
Cons:
- Local typesetting missed a couple of symbols for me. Not a big deal though.
For me, this goes a long way towards making the IPad a productivity device.
